The Government of Dominica held the official groundbreaking ceremony for its international airport development project on Saturday, November 9, 2024, in the town of Wesley.

According to a statement from Government Press Secretary Dionne Durand-Smith, the Government of Dominica entered into a contractual agreement with Montreal Management Consultant Establishment (MMCE) in June 2021 for the construction of the International Airport.
